Things of various description
I posted Part 2 of my 2011 yuletide story! Because at the end of this month there is going to be a Convergence that will determine whether the world falls irrevocably into some kind of Lovecraftian dystopia, and I have sworn on a few dark forces that story was not abandoned, and this year of all years seemed like the wrong time to tempt the eschaton, so, here is October 10-17 in the Game of 1925 in Bluff City, Iowa.
Not Made For Any Man: (the death of the moon) (11328 words) by melannen
Chapters: 8/8
Fandom: Blossom Culp Series - Richard Peck, A Night in the Lonesome October - Roger Zelazny, 9+ assorted others
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Blossom Culp, Alexander Armsworth, Graymalk (Night in the Lonesome October), Snuff (Night in the Lonesome October), assorted others
Additional Tags: Crossover, cosmic horror, 1920s
Series: Part 3 of It Was A Soft October Night
Summary:
It will take some revising if I finish the whole thing - especially in terms of canon/character voice, because I did not, in fact, review all the canons this time - and do not expect part 3 before the next Halloween Convergence in 2039 - but I managed to get every chapter up on the right day, and I am still capable of forming complete sentences apparently, so I'm calling it a win.
Meanwhile I need to sign up for Yuletide, but I am honestly having trouble thinking into the future more than, like, two days at this point, much less more than two weeks, so figuring out what I will be excited about in December is tough. I am sure I will manage! There are no shortage of things in the tagset I am *theoretically* excited about.
Also I have been doing![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
shitpostsampler's Stitchtober prompts, because they seem to be exactly the level of distracting that works for my brain right now. I am skipping the spring/summer ones and doing only ones that are around this month, which has worked out to about half, and doing half of them is just about enough that I can keep up. (I'm also not doing exact color matches because I'm trying to use up the giant stash of inherited floss I have. Does anyone have a color conversion chart for modern DMC six strand floss and pre-1940 Bucilla numbers? How about Peri-Lusta or Brillante D'Alger? Belding Lily? Star Six Strand? No?)
(I got all excited about a Ravelry account last winter, and since then I have been doing all the fiber crafts except knit and crochet, it seems like - since pandemic I have done a huck weaving afghan, some tablet weaving, a fair amount of handsewing, lots of mask-making, lots of free hand embroidery, and this cross-stitch, but none of it goes on Ravelry. My poor sock is still exactly where it was.)

Series: Part 3 of It Was A Soft October Night
Summary:
As the moon wanes, alliances are built, new players appear, secrets come to light, and Alexander Armstrong spends a lot of time confused.
